Description

Victoria Park Nursing Home is located at 1 Croesus Street, Kalgoorlie, WA, 6430.

Victoria Park Nursing Home caters for 22 residents in a heritage style, purpose built building which features bright and cheerful rooms.

The ground on which the facility now stands was originally a community park given the name Victoria Park in 1898 in memory of Queen Victoria. In 1968 the Victoria Park Aged Care Home was opened to the public by the Little Sisters of the Poor. The facility was upgraded in 1997 and Southern Cross Care took ownership in 2009.

The Kalgoorlie Hospital and Path West Kalgoorlie Laboratory are just over 1km away, with another medical centre the same distance. Victoria Park Nursing Home is within 300 metres of St Mary’s Catholic Church and only 1.5kms from Hannan Street and the Goldfields Highway. It is also co-located with Victoria Park Hostel and the onsite parking makes visiting convenient for family and friends.

Victoria Park Nursing Home provides short term respite accommodation, from one day to a number of weeks, providing peace of mind for carers. It can also be an important step in the smooth transition of the care recipient into permanent placement.

Residential Aged Care Fees

When entering aged care, the Centrelink assessment of your assets and income determines what you may need to pay towards the cost of the accommodation and services. You may be asked to pay a basic daily fee, a means tested fee and an amount for your accommodation. The basic daily fee is to cover living expenses such as meals, power and laundry. The means tested care fee contributes to the cost of your care and you may also be asked to pay an accommodation contribution to either fully or partially cover the cost of your accommodation.
